I have successfully been able to remove the IE address bar for generic users
by running a script that sets the the following registry
keys..HKEY_Current_user\software\microsoft\internet
Explorer\toolbar\Explorer\ITBarLayout, ShellBrowser\ITBarLayout, and
Webrowser\ITBarLayout. There is hex code that is entered in there and if
anyone needs it I have it. Anyways, if a user does any type of searching of
a printer or in IE, these settings get reset and the address bar shows up
again. This does work in IE 5.5 but within IE 6, the users can hack it and
get the address bar up again. Does anyone have any ideas how to overcome
this problem or a better way of removing the address bar in IE and WIndows
explorer? If at all possible, doing it through group policy would be ideal.
 
Try setting a restriction in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions
"NoAddressBar" =1 should disable the address bar

The restrictions that are available to Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1
